  • Chapter 6 Riemann Solvers I
    Chapter 6 Riemann solvers I The numerical hydrodynamics algorithms we have devised in Chapter 5 were based on the idea of operator splitting between the advection and pressure force terms. The advection was done, for all conserved quantities, using the gas velocity, while the pressure force and work terms were treated as source terms. From Chapter 2 we know, however, thatthecharacteristicsoftheEuler equations are not necessarily all equal to the gas velocity. We have seen that there exist an eigen- vector which indeed has the gas velocity as eigenvectors, λ0 = u,buttherearetwoeigenvectors which have eigenvalues λ = u C which belong to the forward and backward sound propa- ± ± s gation. Mathematically speaking one should do the advectioninthesethreeeigenvectors,using their eigenvalues as advection velocity. The methods in Chapter 5 do not do this. By extracting the pressure terms out of the advection part and adding them asasourceterm,theadvectionpart has been reduced essentially to Burger’s equation,andthepropagationofsoundwavesisentirely driven by the addition of the source terms. Such methods therefore do not formally propagate the sound waves using advection, even though mathematically they should be. All the effort we have done in Chapters 3 and 4 to create the best advection schemes possible will therefore have no effect on the propagation of sound waves. Once could say that for two out of three characteristics our ingeneous advection scheme is useless. Riemann solvers on the other hand keep the pressure terms within the to-be-advected sys- tem. There is no pressure source term in these equations. The mathematical character of the equations remains intact. Such solvers therefore propagateallthecharacteristicsonequalfoot- ing.

QUASICONFORMAL MAPPINGS, FROM PTOLEMY'S GEOGRAPHY TO THE WORK OF TEICHMULLER¨ ATHANASE PAPADOPOULOS Les hommes passent, mais les œuvres restent. (Augustin Cauchy, [204] p. 274) Abstract. The origin of quasiconformal mappings, like that of confor- mal mappings, can be traced back to old cartography where the basic problem was the search for mappings from the sphere onto the plane with minimal deviation from conformality, subject to certain conditions which were made precise. In this paper, we survey the development of cartography, highlighting the main ideas that are related to quasicon- formality. Some of these ideas were completely ignored in the previous historical surveys on quasiconformal mappings. We then survey early quasiconformal theory in the works of Gr¨otzsch, Lavrentieff, Ahlfors and Teichm¨uller,which are the 20th-century founders of the theory.

  • Riemann, Schottky, and Schwarz on Conformal Representation
    Appendix 1 Riemann, Schottky, and Schwarz on Conformal Representation In his Thesis [1851], Riemann sought to prove that if a function u satisfies cer- tain conditions on the boundary of a surface T, then it is the real part of a unique complex function which can be defined on the whole of T. He was then able to show that any two simply connected surfaces (other than the complex plane itself Riemann was considering bounded surfaces) can be mapped conformally onto one another, and that the map is unique once the images of one boundary point and one interior point are specified; he claimed analogous results for any two surfaces of the same connectivity [w To prove that any two simply connected surfaces are conformally equivalent, he observed that it is enough to take for one surface the unit disc K = {z : Izl _< l} and he gave [w an account of how this result could be proved by means of what he later [1857c, 103] called Dirichlet's principle. He considered [w (i) the class of functions, ~., defined on a surface T and vanishing on the bound- ary of T, which are continuous, except at some isolated points of T, for which the integral t= rx + ry dt is finite; and (ii) functions ct + ~. = o9, say, satisfying dt=f2 < oo Ox Oy + for fixed but arbitrary continuous functions a and ft. 224 Appendix 1. Riemann, Schottky, and Schwarz on Conformal Representation He claimed that f2 and L vary continuously with varying ,~. but cannot be zero, and so f2 takes a minimum value for some o9.

  • An Efficient, Second Order Accurate, Universal Generalized Riemann Problem Solver Based on the HLLI Riemann Solver by Dinshaw S
    An Efficient, Second Order Accurate, Universal Generalized Riemann Problem Solver Based on the HLLI Riemann Solver By Dinshaw S. Balsara1 , Jiequan Li2 and Gino I. Montecinos3 1Physics and ACMS Departments, University of Notre Dame ([email protected]) 2Institute of Applied Physics and Computational Mathematics, Beijing ([email protected]) 3University of Chile, Santiago ([email protected]) Abstract The Riemann problem, and the associated generalized Riemann problem, are increasingly seen as the important building blocks for modern higher order Godunov-type schemes. In the past, building a generalized Riemann problem solver was seen as an intricately mathematical task because the associated Riemann problem is different for each hyperbolic system of interest. This paper changes that situation. The HLLI Riemann solver is a recently-proposed Riemann solver that is universal in that it is applicable to any hyperbolic system, whether in conservation form or with non-conservative products. The HLLI Riemann solver is also complete in the sense that if it is given a complete set of eigenvectors, it represents all waves with minimal dissipation. It is, therefore, very attractive to build a generalized Riemann problem solver version of the HLLI Riemann solver. This is the task that is accomplished in the present paper. We show that at second order, the generalized Riemann problem version of the HLLI Riemann solver is easy to design. Our GRP solver is also complete and universal because it inherits those good properties from original HLLI Riemann solver. We also show how our GRP solver can be adapted to the solution of hyperbolic systems with stiff source terms.

  • Commutative Algebras Associated with Classic Equations Ofmathematicalphysics
    Trends in Mathematics Trends in Mathematics is a series devoted to the publication of volumes arising from conferences and lecture series focusing on a particular topic from any area of mathematics. Its aim is to make current developments available to the community as rapidly as possible without compromise to quality and to archive these for reference. Proposals for volumes can be submitted using the Online Book Project Submission Form at our website www.birkhauser-science.com. Material submitted for publication must be screened and prepared as follows: All contributions should undergo a reviewing process similar to that carried out by journals and be checked for correct use of language which, as a rule, is English. Articles without proofs, or which do not contain any significantly new results, should be rejected. High quality survey papers, however, are welcome. We expect the organizers to deliver manuscripts in a form that is essentially ready for direct reproduction. Any version of TEX is acceptable, but the entire collection of files must be in one particular dialect of TEX and unified according to simple instructions available from Birkhäuser. Furthermore, in order to guarantee the timely appearance of the proceedings it is essential that the final version of the entire material be submitted no later than one year after the conference.
